I'm sorry to hear about Teddy and Barney. I'm glad Teddy is feeling better. I hope Barney will be on the mend soon.

How scary!

I know nothing about eye problems but I am so glad you brought him in quickly and that he is feeling better! I hope Barney gets well too.

I took Barney in and my vet did not find anything wrong with him on exam and said he looks great. But, we ran a urinalysis to see if he has an infection. My vet said male dogs with UTIs usually have other symptoms and UTIs in males are not as common as females. So he thinks it might be something Barney ate and asked me about asparagus LOL. I said no asparagus, he has been eating zucchini and celery. Then I tried to argue that Teddy eats the same diet and has no stinky urine but that failed as he said everyone is different. I brought the pee pad with me because he had no other symptoms and my vet did agree it smelled funky.

I just know what my dog's pee smells like and it just doesn't smell right.

Uggh...

No comment on your last lines.....All I can say is, I am glad I am not your vet.

Great minds think alike, lol.

Did your vet charge you double for making him smell the pee pad?

Ugh, hope you can figure out what is going on.

Sounds just like an attorney, has to bring the evidence! Hope Teddy's urine is better today!

I hope both of your babies are feeling better now!!!

107barney · 06-23-2011, 08:02 PM

Good news on Barney - no urinary infection, cause of smelly urine unknown but we are going to see what happens in a few days. If the smell continues, we will do a short course of antibiotics.

Good and Bad News on Teddy. The good news is that his eyes are healing nicely and the abrasions did not show up with the eye stain so my vet was very happy with the eyes. The bad news is that Teddy has an enlarged spleen and we will be doing additional diagnostics and possibly a specialist visit to find out what is going on there.

aproctor · 06-23-2011, 08:14 PM

Happy about the good news but sorry about the bad...

I hope everything turns out okay!!

Hugs from us to you and yours!!!

AllDogBoots · 06-23-2011, 08:23 PM

Cathy I'm sorry to hear about Teddy. I know nothing about enlarged spleens and don't ever remember reading about this in the forum. I hope you can find answers quickly.
